When he had the horse bought another man said that the horse was his. Bob started to argue but a crowd gathered and Bob got afraid. He was asked what was his name. He said he was far from home but he would not care if Tom Gilheany were there. And Tom come up and said he thought he heard his name mentioned. Bob said that he thought he was worthy of Tom's aid.
